Rumorville

The "rumors" are flying fast and furious now with four days to go until voters go to the polls to pick a new President.

In Virginia a bogus flyer has been circulating showing different voting dates for voters registered to different parties.

The phony flyer directs Republicans to vote Nov. 4 and Democrats to vote Nov. 5. The fake flyer also was made to look like an official release from the Virginia State Board of Election.

There has also been a bogus message circulating on-line telling people to vote straight party tickets and to vote again for their choice for president. In some areas that will cancel the vote on specific electronic ballots.

And how about those "rumors" about what might be planned on election night and the next day. Win or lose, the potential for people taking to the streets. Some people are talking about scenes across America reminiscent of College Park the night the Terps won the national championship in 2002.
